Our suite was very comfortable. One thing I would add is shampoo/conditioner since I can’t travel with these and bigger bars of soap.

Hotel Imperial is perfectly located near the best shopping and dining areas in Aveiro, Portugal.
Hotel Imperial should be one or two stars, as rugs are old and dirty, as well as room furniture. This hotel needs an urgent renovation.

Good location, food and lovely staff
The check in was perfect. The room itself was alright, but there was a muffled smell around the room, as if it was never opened.
I spoke to the receptionist and they were kind enough that they allowed us to go to another property.
However, the experience far exceeed my expectations.
The staff are attentive, genuine and always hepful.
Thank you.

This is an old hotel. The walls are thin and you can hear through them. It is a bit worn here and there. The beds are not ultra comfortable. But it is clean and the staff is wonderful. It is safe and convenient to the heart of the city. If you want modern and ultra comfort this is not for you. If you want a clean room for a really good price in a very convenient location this is it.

The good things - room was big, a/c worked really well and it’s a few minutes walk to the canals and old town.
You’ll see from the photos it is incredibly dated, doesn’t feel like anything has changed for 40 years. But that’s clear so you either accept that or not. I chose to accept that because of the roof terrace. Turns out that’s closed, being worked on but the hotel don’t tell you that.
I chose a room at the back, I knew that wouldn’t have a view and that was ok for one night. But again the hotel don’t warn you there is work going on so there are men literally walking past your window and naturally making noise from 8am. And that sums up the worst of this place, the staff treat you like you’re an inconvenience. Customer service is non existence. I’d seen it on other reviews but assumed maybe a one off, maybe people don’t try and speak Portuguese. But it’s so odd, no matter what you do you can’t even get a smile let alone a hello. Never experienced anything like that.

Great location, close to everything, I walked everywhere including to the train station every day to do day trips. It's right next to a lovely museum and restaurants everywhere. Lovely small town. Hotel was cool, old school, staff lovely and helpful and speak English. Horacio at the front desk went above and beyond to help me and make sure my stay was a pleasant one. I stayed for 6 nights and I will gladly stay here again if ever I'm back in Aveiro 😁
